KYIV — Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States has raised a new security framework for Europe as part of the effort to end the war, and that Moscow could use that discussion to weaken NATO and reopen the continent’s borders. “In my view, this can be dangerous,” he told reporters on Friday. “This should not be the main agenda.” The Associated Press held the comments until Saturday.

He said Vladimir Putin’s desire to change borders in Europe is a fact. “I am sure this is part of his concept of revising security guarantees in Europe,” he said. “This is dangerous because, in my view, it is precisely things like this that lead to wars or escalations.”

In my view, this can be dangerous.

He also said the United States had asked, for the first time, whether Ukraine would withdraw from parts of the Donbas that Russia does not control if Kyiv were admitted to NATO. He said Kyiv would not surrender territory. He said any arrangement would not recognize occupied land as Russian. On neutrality, he said a commitment would require changing Ukraine’s constitution. “If Putin expects Ukraine’s neutrality to be enshrined, that’s not going to happen,” he said.

If Washington confirms a package with other NATO partners, he said, he will ask Ukrainians what they think. “If the American side confirms precisely this to us, together with other NATO partners, then I will ask our Ukrainian society what it thinks: Do we accept it or not?”

In the same dispatch he accused SpaceX of restricting the Starshield satellite system in Russian-occupied territory. He said the speed had been capped at 100 miles an hour there, and that the limits had been in place for five days. He said that did not line up with assurances from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the system was more under the government’s control. “The current Starshield restrictions suggest that SpaceX imposed them,” he said. “That’s what our team is telling me. So this doesn’t quite line up with what we heard earlier.”
